This Victorian tiled hallway in West Bridgford Nottingham comprises of E. Smith of Coalville tiles and is on the whole in pretty good condition; some lovely encaustic tiles are used within the floor design.

The floor had been laid over a cellar in a vaulted floor fashion, this had signs of a little flex and wear, causing some of the substrate to come loose from the boarding. This loosening of the substrate naturally affected the tiles; some becoming raised, shifted or loose.

Due to the house not being heated at the time, we chose to use a breathable matt sealer to ensure the tiles were fully protected from staining but unaffected by the very low temperatures at this time of year.
